Concussion Care

Sport-related concussion has become a major public health concern among participants of all ages. Additionally, it is well established that concussions tend to go underreported in youth sports, and this stems, in part, from a lack of knowledge of both the signs and symptoms of a concussion and the proper management of the injury.

Education is a vital component to the prevention and proper management of this injury. Its about reaching out to all those affected: players, parents, researchers, coaches, trainers, officials, administrators, and healthcare providers. It will require a village approach to change the current mindset and provide a safer playing environment for today's youth.
